Crow, I might agree with your idea that,"But even the hope of the elusive $2000 gold and a published NI43-101 has not made the money changers any looser with their change." That is, if after the DD's of these money changers has been completed, and they're still tight with their change, then I'll see things more like you do. Only then, if you're correct, might we Crow together. But until that time, your cynicism is noted and filed .
